Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy ring, probably a finger ring, Roman in date. It is formed by a thick, circular cross-sectioned copper aloly wire being curled round into two rows with slightly rounded terminals. Both terminals also have cross-hatched decoration, similar to the more delicate copper and silver Roman snake finger rings. Although this seems very large for a finge ring, there are some similar examples on the PAS database. A similar ring formed from a single turn can be seen in Lindsay Allason-Jones and Roger Miket's 'Catalogue of small finds from South Shields Roman fort,' 1984: pp 125-…

Cast copper alloy Medieval annular brooch, c.12-1400 AD. The frame appears complete although some of the edges are uneven. The pin has fused to the frame with corrosion and has broken so it is incomplete. The frame is decorated on the front but not on the reverse. The front appears to have been gilded, some of this remains. The pattern is unclear due to corrosion but it could be a floral/vegetal repeating motif.

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Redcar and Cleveland
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a mount, possibly pewter, most likely Post Medieval in date. What remains is sub-triangular in plan, being slightly domed, with an iron stud on the reverse. On the front there is some sort of decoration with a central vertical strip being cut into the mount. All edges seem broken, even if only small parts are missing, so it is difficult to ascertain the original shape. Only the base of the iron stud remains but it has leached iron corrosion over quite a large part of the mount.
